Guard AA Related Threads

[Mohare]

If you would read through those threads that were posted you'd realize that you're not going to get people to agree on one spec. About the only thing people will agree on is that the WIS line sucks. Though there are a few who still use it, I think they just want to be different.

I don't understand why this was stickyed, suppose it's a good place for tso AA info, but otherwise it's crap, the one link leads to someone asking for an aa spec then gettin flamed and given stupid answers, another leads to some newb lvl 22 guardian with 50 points asking where to put them. News people, you can put up to 70 points in warrior tree, and there's next to no info on the guardian tree, I'm not picky, I would just like to see one skilled guardian that's tanked all tso content raid/group alike, to post useing his working spec/s for the warrior and guardian tabs, please/thx, and if someone has already done this, then please post the link to that, no more flames/stupid answers please.

STR 4485 (or AGI 41)
STA 4488
INT 47772
Single Target

or

STR 445
AGI 448
STA 448
INT 47772
AE/Instance tanking

Int is pretty much however you want, I put 777 because I am lazy.

In the guardian tree max out all the slaughters except the taunt/dmg one, and go 3 in rescue to get to reinforcement. Get 5 points in decimate off slaughtering. Get block by filling in that tree. There will be some points left over, get whatever you want with them.

For shadows, take HP and whatever else you want in the first tree. Take battle hardening, swinging strike and sneering assault in the second tree. In the third one take the shield attack one if you raid and are gonna get 4 set, otherwise take the buff enhancer (105 melee/spell dmg), and maybe the physical mit enhance. In the guardian tree take the assault one because it effects Lay Waste also. Then either take HP increase, Strikethrough, Decimate increase, or whatever - they are all marginal. Then get the 2 endlines. There will be some points left over, get whatever you want once again.

You better not be the same guy who whined about no gear post !

Aye. The links used to point to different threads.

It seems somone has hacked in and changed what used to be a helpful post into garbage. Sounds like something only a handful of people would have access to, and those people are supposed to be responsible ... and on our side!

Time to UN-Sticky this one, or point the links to the original threads.

Figured I'd post screens of aa set up since no one else has.

for warrior, i like my spec

str 4,4,8,5
sta 4,4,8,8
int, 4,4,6,8,1

Why all the points in parry? The haste increases your DPS so 48821 in INT is what I usualy go for. Also the spell recovery is shortened so most CAs take less than a second to cast (as recovery for cas and spells is at 0.5 seconds and CAs are usualy 0.5 seconds)

you will find that AE agro will be a problem for you once you start grouping in the harder zones or with high end AE dps.

if you like to run instance i would take
str 4-4-5
agi 4-4-8
sta 4-4-8
int 4-8-4-6-1

that purely for instance content if you want to raid your gaurd you need to take a solid solo build like the one i quoted.
